Advances in 3D fractal imaging software – Mandelbulb 3D and Mandelbulber

A number of years after mathematicians came up with possible 3D fractal formulas, collective open source software projects have been born for creating images and animations rendered with these formulas. Some of these applications offer advanced rendering features such as ambient occlusion, depth of field, reflections, fog, glow, water and more. Watch a recent video created with these techniques on Filmnosis, and find out more by visiting the Mandelbulb 3D (MB3D) and Mandelbulber software pages.
